School.

I want to finish school. I am 23 years old right now, and if I stuck with the first college I went to, I would have graduated with a Bachelor's degree by the time I turned 22. I took a 2 year break after experiencing a mental and physical breakdown (we're talking psychiatric ward hospitalizations here).
